Coming of Age

A story reflecting on what it means to grow up, overcoming challenges and doubts that you would never have imagined facing in childhood. Viewing life through the veil of childhood gives a sense of security, but becoming entangled in this security blanket can also weigh you down. There comes a point when we must pull from our inner strength, coming into our own and standing on our own. Only then can we explore what we are truly capable of.
